It seems at the moment that all roads point to mobile for charities, but not all charities have updated their websites to capitalize on this fact.
Charity website Justgiving.com has announced that it has seen a 26% rise in donations due to a surge in mobile donations.
Justgiving.com partnered with Vodafone almost two years ago to release the JustTextGiving service, simplifying donations by giving charities their own text code to allow people to donate via a quick message.
Virgin Money Giving has also just launched a mobile website to enable fundraisers to invite their contacts to support them with a donation via a mobile device.
They recently completed a survey and found 80% of charities said digital technology is the key to increasing future income, though 86% of charities don’t believe they’re making the most of digital and online fundraising, while 76% of charities don’t have a mobile site.
Relaunching your site on a responsive platform is the recommended route for mobile since it enables the website to automatically re-size to the device screen. It also avoids any problems caused by duplicate content, which is an issue for search engine optimization.
